No matter how their NHL careers end, Jack and Quinn Hughes will always be Olympic gold medalists and have their Olympic glory memories to look back fondly on. Part of those memories include watching the U.S. women's team claim gold on the ice alongside the NFL's GOAT, Tom Brady.
Appearing on The Tonight Show, the Hughes brothers revealed that they actually got to watch the women's gold medal game against Canada in a box alongside Brady. The seven-time Super Bowl champion was there with two of his kids.
"We were in a box at the game," Quinn said. "We were actually with Tom Brady... "It was just me, Jack and Tom watching the game. It was crazy. I don't know how we got up there.
Jack said that Brady was actually "the most pumped out of all of us" during the game.
"He was going crazy," Jack said.
Quinn said that Brady was "jumping and down" after the win.
"It was fun to watch....no one was happier than Tom," Quinn declared.
It's no secret that Brady loves winning and has made a habit of it for the better part of 25 years. Whether it's on the field after winning a Super Bowl or on the sidelines after a big play, Brady has never been lacking for enthusiasm.
The Big Game
The men’s ice hockey gold medal game at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina was a dramatic, historic showdown between Team USA and Team Canada, two of the sport’s fiercest rivals. After a tightly contested 60 minutes that ended tied 1–1 — with Matt Boldy scoring first for the U.S. and Cale Makar answering for Canada — the game moved into sudden-death 3-on-3 overtime.

With goaltender Connor Hellebuyck standing tall with 41 saves to keep the Americans alive under intense pressure, Jack Hughes delivered the decisive moment, scoring 1:41 into overtime on a pass from Zach Werenski to lift the United States to a 2–1 victory and secure the nation’s first Olympic men’s hockey gold medal since the iconic “Miracle on Ice”” in 1980.
The triumph resonated deeply across the hockey world, not only for ending a 46-year gold medal drought but also because NHL players were back in Olympic competition for the first time since 2014, making this one of the strongest fields in recent history. Canada, chasing its 10th Olympic title, was outshot and pressured for much of the game but rallied late and forced overtime, only to see the U.S. finish the tournament unbeaten. The win marked a rare sweep of both men’s and women’s hockey golds for the United States at the same Games and sparked widespread celebration among players, fans, and commentators alike.
